Organization

DBHi consists of a variety of programs, applications, research, and services under an organizational structure that optimizes the ability to manage ourselves. Over the years, we've found that it's easier to talk with our collaborators about what we do rather than what group people map to in our small organization.

However, for those who may not be familiar with the individual DBHi groups or just want to see how DBHi breaks into its individual parts, please read the descriptions provided for each group.

Operations

The DBHi Operations group provides strategic leadership and administrative support for all DBHi activities. The Operations group manages the annual strategic planning and budgeting process for DBHi, provides all outreach for each of the distributed DBHi groups, interfaces with key offices in the Hospital and the Research Institute, and is ultimately responsible for all center-based oversight and management.

Clinical Reporting Unit

The Clinical Reporting Unit (CRU) has recently expanded from strictly a clinical data reporting role to dual reporting and research data management roles as a result of DBHi's entry into the REDCap program. The goal of the CRU is to make both retrospective data in the electronic health record and prospective research data actionable for the research team.

Translational Informatics Unit

The Translational Informatics Unit (TiU) serves as the home of programming and data integration activities for translational projects and programs within DBHi. The group's mission is to provide informatics solutions for Hospital investigators who are involved with translational research by helping to identify, implement and integrate tools and technologies that support operational effectiveness and innovation.

Pediatric Research Consortium

The Pediatric Research Consortium (PeRC) facilitates research in Children's Hospital's distributed primary care network. The group reviews protocols that involve the practices and serves as an advocate for all three stakeholders in the context of the study: researchers, providers, and patients.

Education

The DBHi Education (DBHiEd) group provides numerous informatics educational opportunities to the Children's Hospital by highlighting innovations and issues in multiple areas of healthcare informatics, clinical informatics, nursing informatics, translational informatics, and bioinformatics. The group produces multiple events throughout the academic year and incorporates web-based and multimedia learning into several comprehensive curricula.
